UNSC Heavy Frigate

The UNSC Heavy Frigate is the Mainline ship of the UNSC fleet with the ability to go toe-to-toe with all but the Heavier class Covenant ships. It can overcome ships of Heavier classes when put in groups of three to four. The real strength of the Frigate doesn't lie in Orbital Combat but providing UNSC ground forces with Heavy Support options, the Frigate is one of the only UNSC ships that can engage in low-orbit operations due to the ship having veritcal thrust capabilities, it can also carry a contingent of ODST's and deploy HEV pods. Due to recent advancements in Technology and Tactics the Heavy Frigate doesn't require crew members to man the ships weapon systems, the AI Operates all the weapons and counter measures. The Heavy Frigate's small size makes it a harder target for Covenant Capital Ships however its small size makes it impossible to sport the Secondary Tritium-Nuclear Fusion Reactor the heavier UNSC ships have. The secondary reactor allows heavier UNSC ships to charge thier Super MAC's without withdrawing power to thier engines or shields, so if a frigate should fire its MAC and miss it will need to draw energy away from one of the mentioned systems in order to reload the MAC. Making them an easier target for Heavier Neo-Covenant Warships.
